What's in my Birchbox?

Happy Tuesday Lovas!

I got my Birchbox over the weekend & just wanted to share with you all what was in it! In case you haven't heard of Birchbox, it is a really cool company that sends you samples of products that they think you will like based on a survey that you fill out. It costs $10 a month or $110 per year, so it is a wonderful deal & is something to look forward to!! You also earn points to discounted full size products.

If you aren't a member of Birchbox yet and you are interested, please leave me a comment with your email and I will send you a link! In the meantime, here is what I received this month:

First, the Ahava Mineral Foot Cream. It is a hydrating crea with avocado and jojoba oils made to soften and smooth. It has a great minty type of smell that I love!

Then I got these Minteas, Tea Forte mints that are infused with energizing yerba mate and cocca. They are a 'lime mojito' flavor and are made with organic green tea. I get something similar to these at Trader Joe's, and love them, so these were a score!

Love this lipgloss!! It is Kissable Couture that feels weightless and has a slick, glass-like finish with pigment, but not an overwhelming amount. Will probably buy a full-sized!!

This is the Erno Lasizo TranspHuse Night Serum and the colorscience pro Sunforgettable Mineral Powder SPF 30. I haven't tried either yet, mostly because I have a hard time straying from MAC, and I do have a night serum that I use, but I plan on trying them soon. The night serum smells great, but it probably is only 1-2 nights worth, so I don't know how I would be able to tell if I had good results, but we will see.

And that is it!! I definitely recommend Birchbox... I think it is a great and inexpensive way to get samples of new products or to find things that you wouldn't normally find!

I have been on the fence about trying out Birchbox...I don't know how much I'd really use all the products in each box so I don't know if it would be worth my money, but this box looks great so maybe I'll try it out sometime!!

Some months I really want to join when I see all of the wonderful goodies included and others, not so much. I guess they can't all be a hit. I do love the idea of getting something once a month and the discounts on full size products. The mineral powder and lipgloss look nice!

i'm still waiting on my birchbox to arrive for this month - & judging by yours, i can't wait! i have the ahava hand cream & love it, so i hope my box has the foot cream too (& the mineral powder) - yay!

This is my first month signing up for birchbox...and I have not received any mail in 4 days. That lipgloss looks amazing, I hope I get it in my box...watch I'll get some nivea chapstick style thing...eh!
